Global Health Workforce
The Global Health Workforce refers to the collective group of individuals who work in various health-related roles across the world. This includes doctors, nurses, public health professionals, and support staff who provide essential services to communities. Their efforts are crucial in addressing health challenges, improving health systems, and ensuring access to care for populations.
A well-functioning health workforce is vital for achieving global health goals, such as those outlined by the World Health Organization (WHO). Training, recruitment, and retention of health workers are key factors in strengthening health systems and responding effectively to health emergencies, such as pandemics or outbreaks of diseases like COVID-19.
